• Cisco UCS C210 M2: PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  Hello

  I'm working on Cisco UCS C210 M2 servers. I got 10 146 GB SAS HD with LSI MegaRAID Raid Controller. I did run the Raid Controller and choose RAID6. After that I installed ESXi and it said to reboot the server. Now, when I restart the server I get the following error message:

  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  PXE - M0F: Exit Boradcom PXE ROM

  Restart, and then select proper boot service

  or Insert Boot Media in some boot device and press a key

  Any suggestions how I can solve this problem.

  Thank you.

  You will need to go into the Bios of the controller LSI MegaRaid (Ctrl + H) and select the option of virtual drives on the left. When the virtual command window opens, you must select the drive (Raid Volume) on which you want your drive master boot and underneath there will be an option to set as your boot device. Apply and save.

• New UCS-C210 problem with video monitor output

  Hi all

  We just bought a new Cisco UCS C210 M2 product for our CUCM migration to Virtual Machines. We plugged a HP monitor and a USB keyboard to start work with the UCS. Then we plugged the server to the power supply and turn on the server, the fan worked properly for his initial shot. However, I could not see the monitor up and I can't see if it boots correctly. We waited and notice that the keyboard seems to work as you can see the num and lock the scroll works.

  I unplugged the monitor of the connection of the console before the use of the foxconn connector that came with it and plugged into the DB15 port on the back. Same result the monitor does not display anything.

  So I went on the second UCS server using the same keyboard and mouse, everything works.

  Any who know this problem of the screen does not? If so, please share how to fix it.

  Otherwise, our conclusion would be that Cisco sent us a faulty hardware or it has become defective during the transport.

  Thank you best regards &,.

  Ramon

  OK fans turn upwards and then downwards with the lights on the front would indicate to me that the server itself is ok and boot up normally. The fact that you have used this monitor UCS one another in the same way seems to indicate that the problem is probably with this server and a video on the issue. I suggest to open a TAC case and include these steps you have taken. If you can, try reinstalling all your memory and boot up the server again.

  I hope this helps.

• UCS-C210-M2 on the problem of gigabit ethernet ports.

  I have 2 x C210 M2 with 2 mother board gigabit ethernet ports and 4 gigabit ethernet ports on a PCI card ports.

  PCI 4 port cards work fine.

  On the 2 ports on the motherboard, I have a problem with ESXi 4.1:

  My 2 ports is auto-negotiation and on the vsphere client speed and duplex of the ports are always displayed correctly.

  The switch network where the server is connected is a C-3560.

  I use this server for Unified Communications, one I see the problem on downloading large files.

  With a virtual machine connection of the unit, when I want to download a file of locale (language file - 650 MB to 1 GB)

  The download progress is displayed in MB and it progresses very slowly as 1 MB every many seconds.

  Whereas, when I use a map PCI 4 port gigabit port, I can see the progression to go at a speed of tens of MB in the same period.

  The only way to have growth to proceed more quickly with the 2 on the main Board gigabit ports, is to set the speed of the 3560 switch

  10 Mbps and half duplex. In this case, when we look at the client vsphere, the gigabit on the server port negotiates to 10 MB - half Dupl.

  and the progress is constant and much faster that it is at this time to 1000 Gb/s Full Dupl.

  Someone has an idea.

  My CIMC firmware version is 1.4.1 and I run ESXi 4.1.0

  Marc - CCIE 2700

  Hello Mark,

  LRO of ESXi feature works well with the Linux kernel (depending on the version of UC apps, they rest RHEL 4.7 / RHEL 5.5)

  Try to turn off RSO on ESXi and check the transfer rate.

• Compatibility phone Avaya with Cisco Unified Communications Platform

  Hello

  We are currently a user all-Cisco on the side of routing, switching and network security, however, we are a user all Avaya on the phone, IP phone and voice communications.  I laugh with all the problems we had with Avaya and would migrate to Cisco.  My department head wants to know is it possible to have a Cisco platform manage all unified communications and voice mail on the back end, but continue to use the Avaya phones currently in place in each office, until we can replace in the coming years through attrition?  It is essentially a measure of cost that is the main factor in management are unwilling to make any changes whatsoever because of investment is already in the existing system.

  None of the Avaya endpoints are officially supported on Cisco CUCM, but if they SIP phones, they can be defined as 3rd-party SIP endpoints.  That being said you get far more features and satisfaction with phones Cisco CUCM, otherwise ask for another set of questions, and at that time there a seller will point to the other.

• Service profile of the CISCO UCS for ESXi

  Do you need multiple boot LUN on the storage array for each host that you want to apply the service profile to? I'm just confused, let's say I have 12 blades that I want to designate as boot SAN for ESXi, y aura-t 12 profiles of separate service for each of them, and will need me 12 different LUNS on our storage? I am new to this and I just want to make it as clean as possible! Any help is appreciated.

  Hi Justin,

  You can have the same LUN ID for multiple service profiles, as well as the same target ID. However, your initiators will be different and you will need to configure the zoning on your switch upstream if you use the end host mode.

  Here is a good guide, review the basics and how to put in place.

• Cisco UCS update for vmware

  Hi all

  I am facing a problem to upgrade my vmware environment. Is it possible to upgrade my current environment to vmware vSphere 5.0 to 5.5 or v6 vSphere? Here's my current Cisco UCS report. Cisco said that no Vmware said yes.  Someone at - he tried or who have this problem?

  Current version = UCSM B series

  The UCS = 2.1 release (2)

  Server model = B230-M2

  Adapter = CAN-M91kR UCS Virtual Interface Card

  If you need confirm the hardware and software compatibility, here is your best friend:

  http://www.Cisco.com/Web/TechDoc/UCS/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html

  With version UCSM you use and the material, you have the latest version supported is ESXi 5.1 U1, but if you upgrade to 2.1.3 you will see Esxi 5.1 U2 - 3, 5.5, 5.5 ESXi U1 - 2 and 6 Esxi ESXi.

  I bet you meant to type M81KR, so keep this in mind for a proper functioning:

  1.5.0.45 = card driver (FNIC), 2.1.2.38 (ENIC)
  Adapter Firmware = 2.1 (3)

  Let me know if you have more doubts, if not, please check the question as "answered" so future users to see that you found the information you are looking for.

• Mellanox for Cisco UCS RDMA support.

  Hello

  I wonder if anyone can help or tell me if there is interconnection support RDMA Mellanox and Cisco UCS B series or fabric. It is possible to connect on the technical level.

  I have clients who have Cisco UCS B Series more Windows 2012 R2 HyperV installed, who now want to connect RDMA Mellanox storage medium

  Hi murielle

  Important caveat: RoCE means RDMA over converged Ethernet.

  If you look at the YouTube mentioned above, you will see, that SMB Server and Client on the blades of the UCS; so no interop Situation. everything happens within a domain of UCS.

  In your situation, you have a comprehensive Converged Ethernet network (Cisco and Mellanox); your customers could be on the blades, the servers attached to the Mellanox switches.

  It is essentially a question Interop; I have no idea if it has been tested or not.

• UCS-C210 Firmware

  When I try to update the firmware via TFTP I get an error message Image_CRC_Failure on the web and CLI.  I tried to re - upload the image and I tried several versions of the image.  I also tried the upgrade via the web and I get to 5%, and the system hangs.  When I try to log in I get this error message: "this browser has already a MMIC session. Only one session is allowed by the browser. You must log on to the other session, connect with a new session. "I click on the link"Logout of the other session", but I can not always log in.  I have to completely power off the server for the Web to become available.  When I say "shut down", I want to say that I physically remove the cable from the back and wait 10 seconds.

  Could someone tell me please the right way with these 2 questions?  It is the first time that I had the chance to work with the UCS-C210 and I'm about to say that I'm not impressed because this isn't the first question that I met.  I like Cisco and I won't get that far right now.

  Any help is appreciated,

  Terry

  Hello Terry,

  These types of problems are usuing the fault of a Windows TFTP server cause CRC errors.   Have you tried downloading interface Web of another client by chance?

  Have you tried the HUU (Host Update Utility)?  It's an ISO you just go up and it will update all FW components as you like.

  You can get it here:

  http://www.Cisco.com/Cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=283862069&flowid=25882&softwareid=283850974&release=1.4%281C%29&relind=available&rellifecycle=&RelType=latest

  * Note the name of the file will be called something like "ucs -c200- huu - x.x.x.iso", but that's fine.  The C200 and C210 are the same basic architecture, and this package is compatible with both.

  As for your other questions, you can configure the MMIC to allow multiple connections: it's under Admin settings or Communication, I think.  By resetting the MMIC (not disturbing for the host operating system), you can clear all 'stuck' sessions.

  Let me know how you go and we'll get you squared away, I promise you.

  Kind regards

• UCS-C210 m2 low IOPS / s

  I currently have a case for it with cisco, but I thought that I post to the community to seek one advises...

  I have 2 ucs c210 servers,

  The two are almost identical.

  Ucs1 - has 24 sons of CPU power and 32 GB of ram,

  Ucs2 - has 16 sons of CPU and 48 gb of ram.

  Other then that they both have the same server - win2k8 r2 running hyperv bones

  Same raid configuration and even hard disks.

  UCS 1 becomes significantly more high IOPS / s

  This becomes increasingly more clear when a comment server benchmarking.

  Joined landmarks of comments on each server (migration)

  I swapped the raid under wty with Cisco card, but the performance was not improved.

  Then.

  Other thoughts about the large performance difference?

  Would it be a windows affecting one somewhere I missed?

  Or is a card or mother or other hardware failure?

  Hi Robert,.

  Thanks for the update

  Performance decreases in Windows Server 2008 R2 when the Hyper-V role is installed on a computer that uses Intel Westmere and Sandy Bridge processors

• UCS-C210 M2 RAID 10 (1 + 0)

  Hello everyone

  I doubt that the raid 10 (1 + 0) that several sources indicated that they need 4 hard drives, however I have read elsewhere that are required to at least 2 disks.

  I could indicate if UCS C210 M2 Server is that you can configure RAID 10 with two 300 GB hard drives each.

  Thanks for responding.

• Virtualization Cisco UCS in some software

  Hello community,

  I want to ask you a few tips. My question is: If there is some software that virtualizes Cisco UCS? Freeware is the best option. Reason why I ask is because I need to create the test environment for the follow-up. IBM followed agent KV6 for Cisco UCS, which connects via HTTP to UCS Manager.

  Thank you Jan

  Take a look at the UCS platform emulator. https://communities.Cisco.com/docs/doc-66688

  In my view, that it will respond to SNMP requests and api as the normal version.

  Thank you

• Need help on Cisco UCS Certification

  Hi all

  I need your help.

  I intend to take the certification Cisco UCS. Please help me on this I am confused that you take as it is DCUCI or guide DCUCD please if it is DCUCI how to start and if DCUCD how to start.

  Currently working on vmware support and little UCS. I am after reading docs, and communities through videos from train signal UCS.

  Can some expert guide please, how further will be a great help

  Thanks in advance

  Vincent

  Vincent,

  Since how long did you ask? I want to mention that CCNA/P DC was relesed in November, before a review as DCUCI was a full certification and it is now part of the CCNP instead.

  CCNA has 2 reviews, DCICN & DCICT

  I couldn't find a link where it is specifically stated that you must follow a specific order, for example here:

  http://www.Cisco.com/Web/learning/certifications/specialist/DC/uc_support.html you can find specialized support requirements are:

  642-999 DCUCI (one of the basic tests I mentioned) & DCUCT 642-035 (one of the troubleshooting tests I mentioned as well)

  For CCNA, there is no choice, only 2 exams available, it does not matter for CCNP, but 4 you access CCNP, different combinations will give Add tax certifications.

  However, keeping in mind the names of examinations, which can give you an idea of what you want to learn first:

  DCUCI: implementation of Unified Computing DC

  DCUFI: implementation of DC Unified Fabric

  DCUFD: Data Center Unified Fabric Solutions Design

  DCUCD: Data Center Unified Computing Systems Design

  DCUFT: Troubleshooting Cisco Unified Fabric data center

  DCUCT: Troubleshooting Cisco Unified Computing data center

  I hope this helps clarify.
